Abstract
Legal claims are filed against people who do everything correctly and those who do not-their outcome does not necessarily reflect justice. The practice of medicine is an art, which combines knowledge, technical skill, and interpersonal relations. Physicians must take a leading role not only in the medical care of their patients, but as educators in the legal arena. Where physicians fail to do so, others who lack medical training and an appreciation of the subtleties of the art will, of necessity, dictate the standards of medical care.
